His first year as a wide receiver in college showed some flashes of potential, but for John Franklin III, his biggest NFL buzz might be coming soon.

One of the stars of the first season of "Last Chance U," Franklin is hoping to sell NFL teams on his potential to make a position switch. A former quarterback at Florida State who went the junior college route at East Mississippi State and then Auburn, Franklin transferred to FAU last year to hone his skills at wide receiver. He had seven catches for 95 yards and a touchdown while also rushing 16 times for 229 yards and two touchdowns.
